CCA represents a large voting block and when politicians see them taking a side on an issue they support what CCA supports because it means more votes for them come election time. going against CCA is a sure way to lose an election and politicians don't give a hoot about anything but getting re-elected and will always vote the way they can get the most voter support at election time.
CCA has clout as a window into how people will feel if a politician votes the wrong way. they chose to do nothing and not show up telling (by their absence) that they can vote without worrying about losing voter support. right or wrong that's how politicians think.
CCA does nothing so why blame them? because they defraud people out of millions of dollars telling them they will be there at meetings like this so they are just a bunch of lying weasels selling snake oil.
you never want to hold CCA accountable for the resulting outcome of them ignoring supporting things they portend to support so who is really the one that is misguided on the CCA organization? look in the mirror and you will see him. you always are wanting to defend and support them yet cant show anything they are actually doing to help fishermen. |
I think it would be of interest to most to look into how non-profit conservation organizations work. They can only do so much, they are bound by money so have to pick and choose battles to fight. Going against Jindal would likely just be a waste of time (this happened several years back and he got reelected without a hiccup) and there are much bigger fights that could possibly be won, this one isn't one of those. Its basically closing the barn door after the horse has eaten all the hay
